Installing Rowboat Lookout Tower

Posted September 28, 2010 by colin_matthes in Inspiration

Over the weekend with the help of family and friends I installed a "Rowboat Lookout Tower" on 35th and Capitol in Milwaukee. This is part of a project organized by In:Site, a public art org in Milwaukee.

climbing the tower to attach cables from the tower to the rowboat. We got the rowboat in the air by attaching pulleys to a second tower and pulling it up with a truck.

wow this looks pretty crazy, nice work Colin. This should draw some confused looks from passers-by.

Colin-this is amazing. You have entered the artist/mad scientist/back-yard inventor terrain.
